  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Thanks. I had attempted to this multiple times yet keep receiving an error message that a certain file is in use and can not be trashed
